Another disappointment, really. Obama's not a doctor -- and it shows. By making a distinction between "mental distress" and "a serious physical issue," he makes the far too common mistake of discounting mental illness -- like depression -- as a "real" and damaging illness.

What he should do is leave the medical stuff alone and think like a lawyer -- which he is. Is there a reason to limit a woman's choices at a certain stage of pregnancy and, if so, what are they?

Arguing from a position of ignorance is never a good idea.

Wow, Obama is a politician. What a surprise! I think though, that he may be trying too hard to woo the center-right. He assumes he has the "progressive" left sown-up. I would not make that assumption too early in the game.

Obama really should try a tad harder to at least appear to have convictions. Failing that he will be little more than yet one more candidate qualified for spine removal
